Swig Fundraiser

Time for a fundraiser! Woo Hoo! Fundraising is a big huge part of Rockettes & like stated in the Constitution- is MANDATORY. No exceptions :) The more you make, the less your parents have to pay.. Which they will love you for :) This year, we will be trying a new fundraiser that is super easy, and will hopefully be worth it!

We will be selling boxes of mini Swig Sugar Cookies. If you haven't tried them, you should buy a box.. Because they are delicious :)
Each girl MUST sell 10 boxes.
Boxes have 30 Swig mini cookies + a container of frosting for $20.
They freeze really well and are perfect for summer parties!
Fundraiser will start June 21st (I will give you your packets at practice) and will end
July 1st. NO EXCEPTIONS. That gives you 11 days to sell them before almost a whole month off. You must sell all 10 boxes. Packets & money will be due at practice on FRIDAY JULY 1st!!
You will be responsible to deliver your boxes to the people you sold them to. (I will explain in more detail & answer any questions at practice).

You are MORE then welcome to sell more then the 10 boxes. That's just the minimum that you must sell. In fact, the Rockette that sells the MOST boxes, will get a super awesome prize from Me & Marissa.. And I promise it's a good one. You will all want it ;) So start thinking of who you might want to sell too and we will talk more about it at practice on Tuesday.

We will be learning Dance on WEDNESDAY JUNE 22nd from 3-8 pm and SATURDAY JULY 2nd from 7am-12 pm. You can not miss these two days! Everyone will be required to pay the choreography fee, because everyone will be learning the dance. The fee is $25.
If anyone is injured or unable to perform/compete for any reason, we will put in alternates. If for any reason both alternates can't perform, we will hold another tryout with the girls not in the routine, and pick who we feel knows the dance the best.
You must also continue to earn your spot in competition dances. Bad attitude, laziness, tardies, etc. Will get you replaced in the dance. Make sure to work hard and be on top of your game. This is going to be a great year!

DANCE CAMP!

Dance Camp is coming up so fast! Yay! I'm so excited! If you haven't paid the final camp balance, please get that to me as soon as possible! Make sure you have your team shoes, foot thongs, and two sports bras (1 Black and 1 White Racerback) BEFORE we go! I will have Cabela make up a packing list as soon as we get all of our clothes. -If you haven't paid for clothes, please do so as soon as possible. I can not give them to you until they are paid for.

 Camp will be at the Eccles Center in Ogden and we will be staying at the Courtyard Marriott, 1 block west of the Eccles Center.

Thursday, June 9: Roll call at the High School at 6:15 AM SHARP. We need parents to help take and pick up the girls. Yolie will coordinate the driving at the Mom's meeting on the 7th. If Mom's can't attend the Mom's meeting, but are willing to help out with driving, please let Yolie know!

Eat something before or on the way, we wont be eating until lunch. All meals will be provided while at camp.

A wavier MUST be filled out and given to me BEFORE leaving to camp. I will have that paper for you at practice on the 7th. It must be turned in if you want to attend camp.

Saturday June 11th: Team Showcase, 4:00 PM. Family and Friends are invited to attend and watch the teams perform the dances that they have learned at camp.

They will not be taking team pictures at camp this year, so no need to bring money for them.

BDT is teaming up with Will Dance For Kids and the Peanut Butter Jamm this year for a Humanitarian Service and are asking dancers to bring jars of Peanut Butter to camp on day 1. There will be a prize for the team who brings the most jars so lets bring as many as we can! They will be donated to the Food Bank.

Any other questions regarding Camp, let me know. I am so excited!

XOXO
